Reviews:

Anonymous	On its own, this wad sucks ass. However, playing it along with the Real Guns Hardcore wad is AMAZING!	x
Anonymous	Gee, for a wad endorsed by the military, there sure are a lot of copyright infringing Aliens sounds! Also, SS Nazis? An M16 that fires at 2000RPM and an auto-shotgun M60? SO REAL. 1/5	x
Anonymous	Awful. The shotgun replacement freezes the game whenever you try to switch weapons. Overall, this is just crap.	x
Anonymous	I recall playing a modified version of this years ago. It had 6 maps (which looked just as bad as the first) instead of just one and was called "cyberwar.wad". I can't find the link anymore though. Even for 1997 this wad is really bad. The only good thing is the replacement enemy soldier sprite. 2/5 --"Play Doom not war"-- T.V.	x
Anonymous	This WAD is quite a legend. I even remember it appeared on CNN, as a version of it was actually used to train marines in combat simulations. Interestingly enough, there's nothing particularly special about the WAD. The DEH patch makes gameplay a bit more "realistic" I guess, and the hand grenade is cool, but overall ... meh. --3/5	x

Required To Have In Dir : Dehacked 3.0a, DeuSF (included)

* Installation *

Unzip MARINES.ZIP into your Doom II/Final Doom directory, type MARINES and 
follow the instructions.
Attention Final Doom users: Before typing MARINES, please rename your IWAD 
file to DOOM2.WAD ie.

REN TNT.WAD DOOM2.WAD or 
REN PLUTONIA.WAD DOOM2.WAD

This is necessary for DeuSF to read the file and append the sprites. Just
rename it back to TNT/PLUTONIA.WAD after typing MARINES. Thanks.

Included is DHE30A.ZIP, which is Dehacked which youll need.
I advise unzipping that into a directory of its own, and read the docs
inside before going ahead. The install program included will make the PWAD
workable, but WONT install the Dehacked patch file. You want it done, do it
yourself.

* Disclaimer *

I nor anyone related to me, including but not limited to my family, relations
or friends, both old and new, will not be held responsible for any unexpected
side effects, errors or damages to any hardware or software you own whilst
using this product. Bear in mind you are using Dehacked, and its not uncommon
for things to go wrong using .DEH files. You do NOT have to use Dehacked, it
is optional. Geddit?
